“No, painting is not interior decoration. It is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy.”

“Only when painting isn't painting can there be an affront to modesty.”

“My pride had been starched by a family who assumed unlimited authority in its own affairs.”

“Style is less the man than the way a man takes himself.”

“It's better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.”

“We called him Barney for short. We couldn't use his real name, there wasn't time.”

“The Democrats are going to change the name of the Hoover Dam. That is the silliest thing I ever heard of in politics . . . Lord if they feel that way about it, I don't see why they don't just reverse the two words.”

“Some day there will have to be some new rules established about name-calling. I don't mean the routine cursing that goes on between husband and wife, but the naming of defenseless, unsuspecting babies.”
